Cheong Fatt Tze or Tjong Tjen Hsoen () (1840–1916) was a Chinese businessman and politician. He was a powerful Nanyang industrialist and a first-class Mandarin in the Manchu government; he was made Consul-General in Singapore and economic advisor to the Empress Dowager. The road, Jalan Cheong Fatt Tze, is named after him.〔"Road will be named after Cheong Fatze." The Straits Times 8 Dec. 1962: 13 Print: "Penang, Fri. The City Council today announced that a new road between Gladstone Road and Tek Soon Street would be named after a distinguished citizen of the 19th century. The road running parallel to Penang Road will be called Jalan Cheong Fatze after an industrial magnate famed throughout South-East Asia in the past century. Towkay Cheong was noted forr his public services, especially in education."〕 ==Early life== He was born in 1840 in Dabu, Guangdong Province in South China. As he came from a poor Hakka family, he started working at an early age as a cowherd back in his village. In 1856, civil war ravaged much of China, and in that same year another war had broken out between the Emperor of China and the English, known as the Second Opium War (1856–1862). The people had experienced hardship and suffering during the war. As a result, Cheong Fatt Tze migrated to South-East Asia together with other coastal Chinese families to seek their fortune.
